- Ganoderma contains bioactive compounds such as triterpenoids, polysaccharides, and
ganoderic acids,
which have demonstrated anticancer effects in laboratory studies.
These compounds may inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells by:
- Inducing apoptosis (programmed cancer cell death).
- Inhibiting angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels that feed tumors).
- Suppressing metastasis (the spread of cancer to other parts of the body).
- Lung cancer often causes significant
inflammation in the lungs and surrounding tissues, exacerbating symptoms like coughing, pain, and
difficulty breathing.
Ganoderma has strong anti-inflammatory properties, reducing the production of
pro-inflammatory cytokines and helping to alleviate
inflammation in the lungs, which may improve breathing and reduce discomfort.
